In the standard English playingcard deck, the king and the other face cards represent no one in particular though the king of hearts is sometimes referred to as the suicide king because he appears to be sticking his sword into his head. However, it is debated whether or not the sword and hand holding it actually belong to the king, due to a different design pattern that could indicate someone else stabbed him. The king of hearts is the only one of the kings without a moustache, whereas the king of diamonds is the only king not depicted carrying a sword, wielding an axe instead . In a French deck, the court cards do have names. Because the manufacture of playing cards was illegal in the United Kingdom UK during the Interregnum , when the English Restoration came and the court began playingcard games, the suit cards suits in an English deck came from the French deck, but without all of the lore. For a period, starting in the 15th century, French playingcard manufacturers assigned to each of the court cards names taken from history or mythology.
